Ed Miliband is right to say that people who have demonstrated in support of Palestine and against genocide were right all along.
Match your words, Ed, and de-proscribe Palestine Action, now.

I thought the fathers in Gaza carrying bags of flesh they hope contain some of their children's remains were the victims here but actually no. It's Ed Fucking Sheeran.
Ed Sheeran says his family has 'abandoned him' and he's 'found out who his friends are' amid Israel-Palestine row that is threatening his tour trib.al/jLpQHmY

All the politicians who called the Gaza protests 'hate marches' are being strangely silent about Dover

This is the time when we hold the line for every Black person. You recognise racist riots when they are in the streets trying to kill and burn Black people as they did in the UK and Ireland in summer. This is the academic equivalent of that racist lynch mob. Hold the line!

The white-supremacist Nathan Cofnas lied to the media about his job at Ghent University. But instead of double-checking it, the British media just took him at his word. ... Here are some excerpts from Ghent University's letter to suspend him for what amounts to academic fraud.
ALT Your employment contract (article 1) and the vacancy for which you were recruited (ref. LW01) define your research mandate as a study of 'the future of liberalism', specifically focusing on liberalism as a political doctrine emphasizing individual freedom and equality. The projects you publicly and repeatedly associate with your ffiliation at Ghent Universitv y, most notably you 'Guide for the Hereditarian Revolution' which advocates for racial barriers and segregation, fall entirely outside the scope of your official research mandate. During a recent podcast interview with Winston Marshall published on 9 August 2026, you explicitly stated that you are currently continuing your work on 'race realism' and the 'hereditarian revolution' at Ghent University. These public claims, and the activities you describe, are fundamentally inconsistent with the contractual scope of your employment and constitute a manifest violation of your professional obligations towards this University.

No one should ever forget:
The partnership of Netanyahu 🇮🇱; Trump 🇺🇸 & Starmer 🇬🇧 did this
It’s apocalyptic
An evil, racist genocide
For the sake of humanity, all must be made to answer in The Hague
Free Palestine 🇵🇸

ANTI-ZIONISM PROTECTED BY UK LAW
We have set a binding legal precedent!
Anti-Zionism is now a protected philosophical belief under the Equality Act 2010. Full stop.
The Employment Appeal Tribunal finally handed down its judgment this morning. The University of Bristol’s attempt to overturn my 2024 Employment Tribunal victory has been comprehensively dismissed. We won on every single count.
This is a public humiliation for the genocidal Zionist regime, whose assets in Britain bullied the University into sacking me and then dragged them into this futile appeal. Their legal strategy has collapsed. Their pressure campaign has spectacularly backfired.
Thanks to everyone who believed in me and supported me. This is a victory for the whole anti-Zionist movement.
A full statement will follow shortly.
From the River to the Sea
Palestine will be free! 🇵🇸

This is your legacy on the occupied Palestinian territory, Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer. History will remember your complicity.
Despite a partial arms suspension in 2024, Keir Starmer's government has continued to enable Israel's atrocities against Palestinians, their families and children through the supply of F-35 fighter jet parts.
Nothing can change the horrors Palestinians have faced. But the next Prime Minister has an opportunity to put an end to the UK Government's role as an ally to atrocities.
The UK Government must:
🔴 Suspend all arms sales to Israel
🔴 Suspend the UK-Israel trade and partnership agreement
🔴 Ban trade with illegal Israeli settlements
To the next Prime Minister: what will your plaque say?
ALT A blue plaque mounted on a stone wall reads: "HISTORY WILL NOT FORGET COMPLICITY. KEIR STARMER witnessed 73,000 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces, including 21,000 children, and kept supplying arms to Israel."

A reminder that it is official policy of the European Union to deny a genocide that is still being carried out and that everyone has been watching take place in real time, in intimate detail, via the internet.
Tomorrow, Europe pays its tribute to the memory of over 8,300 Bosniak men and boys who were killed in the Srebrenica genocide 31 years ago. Our thoughts are with the families of the victims of the genocide.

Si vous voyez moins d'images en provenance de Gaza c'est parce qu'ils ont tué la majorité des journalistes sur place, ainsi que ceux qui leur portaient secours.
Israël continue son génocide.

The way we stopped hearing or seeing media about Palestine, and there are new types of bombs being dropped in a ceasefire
BREAKING: Israel has dropped a new type of bomb in Gaza.
Palestinians claim it’s a “mini nuke,” but analysis suggests it is likely a thermobaric (vacuum) weapon.
Thermobaric bombs detonate by dispersing a fuel–air mixture, producing a high-pressure shockwave and intense heat. This can collapse structures and cause blast effects similar to a nuclear detonation in terms of overpressure, but it is not a nuclear weapon.

UK nationals returning today from serving in the IDF were NOT arrested under the Terrorism Act.
Please RT this until they are.

So Israel targeted and murdered a guy for organising screenings of the World Cup for displaced Palestinians in Gaza.
How is Israel still allowed to compete in the World Cup?

Scandalous.
18 months in arbitrary detention. No charge. No evidence. Torture attested by his lawyer, marks visible on his body.
And instead of covering this, @BBC amplifies Israel's unproven claims casting doubt on a hostage doctor.
>BBC's journalism in the time of genocide.

A doctor who saved lives in #Gaza is now fighting for his own.
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya - detained without charges for over 500 days- is reportedly being tortured & at an imminent risk of death in Israeli detention.
Abu Safiya is among 14 Gaza doctors (pediatricians, surgeons & other specialists) who remain detained without charge, many for more than a year.
Their continued detention deprives patients of vital care & further undermines Gaza’s shattered healthcare system.
Their release is essential to saving lives + restoring Gaza’s shattered healthcare system.

It is 88 pages - see BELOW
Every UK politician and editor and interviewer and journalist SHOULD READ IT
The UN has released an 88-page report detailing how Israel has targeted Palestinian children.
Torture, rape, murder, the use of drones, babies decomposing in bombed out hospitals. Israeli soldiers boasting about their crimes

"The hardest decision we had to make in completing this report was.. not to name the Palestinian children, whose deaths, injuries & suffering we describe.. we didn't name them because we feared the consequences for their families"
He means Israel would go after them too.
